A single shell or a single bullet in any gun is better than ANY unloaded weapon. I started with and still have a single shot .410 which is an excellent weapon when called upon. Great for a kids starter weapon to improve accuracy when the shooter knows he/she has only ONE shot.
We keep an old .410 at our dock to deal with snakes.
Exactly...I got my son a single shot .410 for his first gun...He was nine...
Quick to reload too. My old HR twelver throws the empty hull about 20 feet behind me.LOL
I still have an old H&R 4.10 single shot that I keep on the back of my ATV as a snake gun out on the farm.
Just used it this week to take out a cottonmouth out at the pond!
Single shot .410 is what I taught our children on first. Useful for snakes in back country AZ.
Still have my first hunting shotgun from 1959. Single shot 16 ga. WinChester in full choke .
A single shot 10 gage goose gun will scare the sh*t out of anyone you point it at.
It sure is relevant if it is pointed at you. I loved my Sears JC Higgens single shot 12 gauge. Light as a feather and kicked like a mule on crack.
